I know this video is a year old, but that may just be the perfect 359. What a gorgeous truck...

Absolutely gorgeous

[@plowboygill3025]

Everyone please give this man a thank you. He and his wife help organize a ATHS chapter show for the Lone Star chapter in his hometown. He is a hard working man who loves his family and trucks. May the good Lord continue to bless him and his family.

That is a beautiful truck. Old School cool. Old School Respect. Old School Fire. And from an old sign I always saw at the Vernon Truck stop / Truck wash.
( CLASS IS A CLEAN TRUCK ).

[@philosophyoftrucking]

Hauling cars sounds a little intimidating.

[@rudycarlson8245]

If someone could please answer this question when the 359 came out could you get one of three options for engines? Cat? Cummins? Detroit Diesel?

[@stormyweather9054]

359's started production in June of 1967 and were built till June of 1987 . All the 359's were built in the Newark , Ca . Paccar plant.

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@stormyweather9054 appreciate the info! What was the main engine in the 359?

[@Mack-on_truck.]

Which truck better do you like in America or European truck

[@MissFlatbedRed]

I think it’s pretty obvious if you look at my channel.

[@kayumaz748]

Mid roof sleeper and long hoods are elegant. These new tractors are unreliable and oversized.
